POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A lot of my poetry has to do with alienation, rejection, loneliness, suicide, mercy fucks, shyness and social justice.
Sensual Bourgeois Alms
She gave
To me last night
Something that can't be bought
An intimate experience
In flesh.

Reality Different
i am not loony
my reality just is
than what you perceive
it takes all kinds of people
to make and keep things real.
even though you see
i may appear strange to you
please don't cry for me
it takes all kinds of people
to make and keep things real.
you are not crazy
we are all weird in a way
just oft' it's hazy
it takes all kinds of people
to make and keep things real.

something special about small town love
they make the best of it, each other's tent
Christmas and Valentine's moments.
in love - they fit each other like a glove
true, they aren't barbies, but who really is?
inner beauty brings inner bliss.
perhaps she is more compassionate
a blossoming advocate
having a special needs sister, made her heed mind.
and her beau understands, he's kind
brought into the family fabric
something special about small town love, it's magic! ...

Her Faith
A week before she passed she made a request
To her middle son, a Catholic burial
The soul knew that on this Earth soon done her quest
Too soon, all she'd see of Earth was aerial
Raised twelve children with what she did was her best
Passed on warmth and kindness, and not just a Will
The service was sad, but reassurance soared
The priest said she'd be fine, due to faith in Lord.

Caring Family, Caring Community
They care deep about my welfare
People from all walks of life care
It's time to return the favor
I express thanks through art's grandeur.
Even though they seem very cool
Empathy for them is a tool
Perhaps, that makes the cool for sure
I express thanks through art's grandeur.
Being nice to me at all times
I know I don't deserve sometimes
They persist anyway, it's clear;
I express thanks through art's grandeur.
I care too, ever so deeply
But it's just expressed differently
They know past my shy demeanor ...

Ballad of Igor Suitandtie
Igor, I know something's bothering you
The way you tremble, and your mouth shuts like glue
You don't realize the dangers
Of being so secure with strangers
And you play the part of the people-pleaser conformist
When your social bonds with other ones
Were never transformist.
Igor, I know something's troubling you
Your boat don't float and you don't know how to tread
In your mind from the world
You get a message, you want to drop dead
And your tops have finished their submission
Your conscious fades away
You...
The way you tremble, and your mouth shuts like glue
You don't realize the dangers
Of being so secure with strangers
And you play the part of the people-pleaser conformist
When your social bonds with other ones
Were never transformist.
Igor, I know something's troubling you
Your boat don't float and you don't know how to tread
In your mind from the world
You get a message, you want to drop dead
And your tops have finished their submission
Your conscious fades away
You...

'To Friends and Family'
Here's to friends and family
We raise a glass of Chardonnay
And many meals we have had
Good grub, good times - for this we're glad.
And although some cannot be here
In their absence, we wish them cheer
Having fun, no room to be sad
Good grub, good times - for this we're glad!
And even though the elastic
Stretches back and forth, bombastic!
We always find each other's pad
Good grub, good friends - for this we're glad.
Our house does have an open door
Through the years we've come together
Our gatherings, no...
We raise a glass of Chardonnay

Good grub, good times - for this we're glad.
And although some cannot be here

Having fun, no room to be sad

And even though the elastic
Stretches back and forth, bombastic!
We always find each other's pad
Good grub, good friends - for this we're glad.
Our house does have an open door
Through the years we've come together
Our gatherings, no...

'david'
david' was his name, or the name they gave
not much else was known about him
or where he went since, or to his grave
could have been a pseudonym
the class was 'Society - Challenge and Change'
the year was 1995
this was a bit of a dated account and study,
from back when psycho-analytics were all the rage
he would probably grow up to be painfully shy
would rather have a root canal than meet new people
every new person, place or thing would be clearly
painful to 'david'

Gold Coast Gigalo
He hails from the Sunshine Coast
It's his bleached blond hair women love most
He knows how to give a good time
Uses his charm, making words rhyme.
With women, he's got a way
Wine and dine them, to pay and play
Then up to his suite for fine wine
With him, a party all the time!
Into the night, they may do lines
The evening is theirs, so sublime
They don't await what morning brings
Tonight it's all about the bling!
Bottle service, and now room service
He is so smooth, not once he's a doofus
For that's part of...

Come Visit Me
Come visit me in my mansion
You'll see why, they'll be no tension
Come visit me in my mansion
To bully, will be no intention.
Come visit me in my mansion
You'll see I'm, not sick anymore
Come visit me in my mansion
To move, no longer am I sore.
Come visit me in my mansion
You'll see why, it's so beautiful
Come visit me in my mansion
To love, will be so plentiful.
Come visit me in my mansion
You'll be high, you won't want to leave
Come visit me in my mansion
To stay, because of what you'll see.
You'll see why, they'll be no tension
Come visit me in my mansion
To bully, will be no intention.
Come visit me in my mansion
You'll see I'm, not sick anymore
Come visit me in my mansion
To move, no longer am I sore.
Come visit me in my mansion
You'll see why, it's so beautiful
Come visit me in my mansion
To love, will be so plentiful.
Come visit me in my mansion
You'll be high, you won't want to leave
Come visit me in my mansion
To stay, because of what you'll see.
